Tilda with Daisy (stamp and create product spotlight)

This week at Stamp and Create there is upto 25% off Magnolia's, and a restock is due in the middle of the week if the one you are desperate for is not currently in stock a little nudge to your husband ready for valentines day perhaps?

I have used Tilda with Daisy. She has been coloured in copics and mounted onto Basic Grey Oxford paper (not just for male cards). The large flower is prima and there is a Basic Grey Green at Heart brad in the centre, the little ones at the top are from this stunning pack too. The lace is cluny which just adds to the card.

Windswept - Elizabeth Bell for Sugar Nellie (2009)

Sorry there was no post yesterday I had a screaming migrane and was in bed by 7pm unheard of since I was a small child.
Here is todays card I love this image, and she has been neglected for so long. The paper is a very old basic grey pad called bittersweet which was discontinued about 3 years ago. I have edged the papers with Victorian Velevet distressed ink. The stickles are actually pink on the flowers they are a shade called cotton candy, which i got years ago (you can tell I have had a massive sort out of my craft room and rediscovered old stash). The lace and flowers are from WOC and the pearls are Hobby House.

Demeter - Kraftin Kimmie

Was I shocked to get these through the post yesterday and had to stamp this one up and begin colouring it. My lovely husband brought them as a surprise set as I had said how much I loved them ( I did Classical Studies as one of my A Levels nearly 20 years ago - eekkk). This stunning lady is called Demeter. I have cloloured her in copics and polychromo's. The paper is MME Lost and found Sunshine Pad, I simply adore this paper. The flowers are WOC, and the lace I think was the ribbon girls.

Now before the challenges I am trying to discover new challenge blogs and moving them from the sidebar to a page tab as for some reason blogger is not letting me copy and paste into the little box and also I am not able to comment on some people's blogs, if you know what I may have done wrong can you please tell me how to fix it.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone. I have had an enforced crafting break in December due to family illness, a death in the family, the subsequent funeral just after Christmas and now another family member in hospital. Therefore my craft rating has slipped drastically so I hope all my followers come back.

Ok cup of tea hidden and my new polychromo's on the left. An image ready to colour ready for some dt work.
